Great progress and nice picture of your furry helpers

[Mrs Milkybar Kid]

I have missed you and Laverne and Shirley ! Glad to see the Lowery Stand is working for you - love the colours in this piece! I know I say this every time, but seeing this one makes me want to start my Melissa Dawn too! If I wasn't such a control freak I swear I would have started at least 20 HAEDs by now !

We've missed you too! If you need a nudge to start another HEAD, Sam is planning on a new start at the end of the month when the BB has the new start SAL week and I'm going to join in. I'm sure that a Melissa Dawn piece would be a great choice if you decide to be daring and start a new one. If I'm enabling and encouraging you, good!

Before and after working on the Twisted Band Sampler, I have been working away on page 2 of this one, determined to finish the page. Seems like I also did something else in between but I have no idea what as my rotation has gotten completely out of whack. Anyway, page 2 is completed with forays over to page 3 and down on page 5 so I actually did more than just one page. Big blocks of color and then lots of confetti. Most of the time L & S played musical lap. I only am posting the one picture, but this is the new feline pastime. One on my lap, one headed for it.



I love the way this is looking! Especially now that I have an eye and a patch and the beginnings of the skull on the kitty's wing.



Thanks for looking!

Awesome update!! It's so neat to see these start to develop!! What a cute design!! LOL on the felines!!

[Raine]

Wow! It looks so cool! Love to L & S.

[Oriettait]

Great update!

[JuWildman]

I love this design - and it's looking great, well done on your progress

[vanessanjf]

Looks amazing! Well done

WOW, it has been a long time between updates. I have been working on this one all month, trying hard to finish page 3 which would also finish the top row, but other WIPs (especially Twisted Band Sampler) have been screaming so I am going to put this away for a little while. I think one reason it has taken what feels like a long time on it, is that some of my help is pretty persistent in demanding attention as usual:



If moved from sitting on top of the bobbin box and blocking the chart, the next best place to go is on top of the floss key:


as opposed to Miss Shirley who is happy to just have a comfy place to sit and admire:


Most of page 3 and a bit of page 6 (my cross country does take me across page borders). I thought I'd zip through this page because there are many large blocks of color, but the frond edges and the feathers of the wings are filled with confetti (and I admit I was seriously distracted by watching the extended version with commentaries and special features of The Lord of the Rings - which also got Burden hollering at me) but I love the fronds and the pirate kitty's wing, so it was worth it.



Thanks for looking.

what a very nice update!!! Loving the palm fronds---so all that confetti was worth the effort!!!! As for Laverne & Shirley---they are just adorable

[richardandtracy]

The black cat in the picture is going to look delightful when finished. It has exactly the same glare as our Black Norwegian Forest Cat (Fluffy) when he's unhappy with us for some reason.

As for the tabbies. Ahhh.

Richard.

[Oriettait]

Great update! Good for you to be able to make progress even with the feline sabotage

[Mrs Milkybar Kid]

I have missed seeing the girls - give them a hug for me ! This one is looking fabulous Carole, I love the Melissa Dawn kitties. So missed seeing your stitching - it's not the same on the HAED BB !

[Rose]

Wow what nice progress on this one!!!!! And the little imps are cute as always!!!!!!

[imogenX]

Wow! I'm so impressed at the detail in the "mini"s.

[poppy]

It is going to be an amazing picture: I love the striking colours, the boat, palmtree and majestic pirate cat!
Laverne and Shirley seem mesmerized at your progress too

[Squirrel]

Now now Miss Laverne, you need to let your servant do some stitching on this one as we all love to see the updates.
Dear Miss Shirley - it is such a pretty picture being made isn't it.
Please give each of the ladies an ear scratch (or two) from Tuppy and me.

Carole, that is a gorgeous update, I don't know how you can bear putting it away again, I would be wanting to see more of all those lovely colours. A fantastic uipdate and great to see the Ladies again .

[rcperryls]

Couldn't stand having just a "little" corner left to complete page 3 and the top row of this piece. At least a third of the way done.

Here is page 3


Here is Shirley doing her best to pretend that it isn't thundering and providing encouragement (weather got worse and she disappeared to a safer place. Back of the closet.)


The top row completed!



Thanks for looking

Carole

[Mrs Milkybar Kid]

Woo hoo ! Love it Carole!
